His foot pressed the accelerator to the floor.
In the other car, George glanced at Jessica in the passenger seat. "Lance is in a hurry. You think he's rushing home to see if you're there?"
Jessica, who had already changed back into her own clothes, sat up straighter.
George chuckled. "So skittish. Just like a little rabbit."
"Just drive," Jessica snapped. "Pass him."
"He's got the pedal to the metal," George said with a smirk. "Passing him now would be dangerous."
Jessica shot him a glare. "If you don't, then don't ever ask me for a favor like this again. You can explain to Mr. George why you failed your mission and get your pay docked for all I care!"
A relaxed, confident smile spread across George’s face. "Hold on tight."
Jessica immediately grabbed the handle above her head.
George's expression turned serious, his eyes sharp as he focused on the road ahead. The car lunged forward like a striking panther, a predator emerging from the shadows. In an instant, the Cullinan shot past the Bentley.
Lance's jaw tightened as he saw the other car pull ahead. He pushed his own car to its limit.
